When the fishmongers and fishermen that were hiding inside the fish market heard no more commotion from outside, they started to pop their heads out from where they were hiding to see what had happened.

They gasped and gagged when they saw the carnage left by the battle.

Some of them couldn’t hold it in and vomited on the spot.

It was a ghastly scene with blood, flesh and body parts strewn all over.

They quickly tried to see if Lee He Song was alright, fearing for his safety.

All of them had to tiptoe and tried the best they could to avoid stepping onto the blood or bodies of the robbers.

And it didn’t take long for them to find Lee He Song.

Lee He Song at the moment, sat on the ground and was in the process of regaining some of his Five-Element Qi and energy.

"Are you alright?"

"Thanks... so much for getting rid of these robbers..."

"How can we ever repay you?"

The fishmongers and fishermen came up to him and asked.

Some thanked him with wary eyes, seeing the number of deaths that were around them.

Lee He Song shook his head at them and said, "No need to repay me, just make sure you deliver the Kelp as soon as possible."

He slowly got back onto his feet and the fishmongers and fishermen bowed at him.

"We will do so by tomorrow."

The Kelp was a lifeline for them and they didn’t want to miss out on the income from it.

All of them needed all they could to earn as much as possible before the winter arrived where the seas would be too rough for them to venture out.

Lee He Song nodded his head at them and the guards he brought with him came running towards him.

"Master Lee, what happened here?" They were astonished like the fishmongers and fishermen to see the ghastly scene in front of them.

Even though they were martial arts fighters with experience in deadly battles, they had never seen anything like it.

Lee He Song had no time to brief them on what had happened.

His mind was on the factories where Lin Xuan Qi was.

Whoever it was behind these so-called robbers might have had something else in store for Lin Xuan Qi and Lee He Song wanted to get back to see if he could help.

"No time to explain, we have to get back to the factory where we came from, as soon as possible." Lee He Song said and the guards nodded their heads.

They left the scene and rushed back in the direction of the factories.

...

Lin Xuan Qi was at the factory he had bought from Hu Fei checking on the workers when he heard some noises outside.

He frowned and quickly went out to check what it was about.

It wasn’t a good feeling for him and he was immediately proven right about it.

The guards were chasing after an old lady who was shouting at a small childlike figure, which looked like her grandson.

But the old lady was running at a faster pace than the guards and the grandson was running at an even faster pace than his grandmother.

"Stop where you are!" One of the guards got close enough to the old lady and tried to grab onto her shoulder.

"Why are you trying to stop me? I need to catch hold of my grandson before he goes missing." She said and gave out a burst of high-pitched laughter.

When the guard heard it, the high-pitched laughter gave him a splitting headache instantly.

He had to quickly retract his hand and use it to cover his ears.

All of the other guards also heard it and they had to do the same to stop the high-pitched laughter from going into their ears.

Even the workers inside the factory were also affected and it was worse for them.

The workers also tried to do the same to block off the high-pitched laughter.

Unfortunately, it didn’t help for the guards or the workers.

After they lost consciousness, they collapsed to the ground.

"Look, Grandma. There’s another one here still standing." The so-called grandson stopped and pointed at Lin Xuan Qi.

Lin Xuan Qi frowned when he saw that the grandson had the face of an adult.

The old lady tilted her head at Lin Xuan Qi and said, "Interesting... I didn’t expect to meet with someone so unusual here."

She was tasked by Lee Qing to wreak havoc in the factory for one of the Sima Family’s partners.

It was supposed to be a pushover as Lee Qing had told her that the factory was only guarded by guards from the Lin Clan and some of the guards from the Sima Family.

The guards from the Lin Clan were negligible for a cultivator like her and the guards from the Sima Family at Qi Concentration Initial Stage weren’t a match for her.

And yet, there was someone still standing after her Soul-Stirring Voice Attack.

To make it even more odd, this man that was still standing had no trace of any Spirit Qi.

"Who are you?" The old lady asked while she prepared her next move.

Lin Xuan Qi shrugged his shoulders and asked her another question instead, "Who sent you here?"

"Answer her!" The grandson of the old lady was not too pleased and he shouted at Lin Xuan Qi.

But Lin Xuan Qi didn’t bother with the grandson and it angered him.

"Who do you think you are! Answer her!" The grandson shouted at Lin Xuan Qi again and got the same cold treatment from him.

Finally, the grandson had enough and he took out two golden rings he had on his wrist and lunged at Lin Xuan Qi.

"Stop!"

The old lady cursed at the rashness of her grandson and she tried to stop him.

But it was too late for the grandson.

Lin Xuan Qi stood there waiting for the grandson, shaking his head at him.

The grandson saw him doing so and it angered him even more.

He directed his Spirit Qi to the golden rings and they gave out a bright golden glow.

Whoosh.

The grandson hurled the golden rings at Lin Xuan Qi without any hesitation.
